Adhyathmaramayna-Balakanda - Sreeramahrdhyam

[Guest guest]

Balakanda chapter1

 

When Rama reached Ayodhya after

killing Ravana and after his coronation he was seated in his throne with Seetha

surrounded by Vasishta and other sages. Then Anjajeya, who wished for nothing

but the highest knowledge was standing near him with folded hands. Rama started

speaking to him and what he and Seetha said to Hanuman then is known as

Sriramahrdhayam.

 

Rama looked at Seetha and asked her to tell hanuman the ramathathva

and Seetha started speaking.
